MP300 SCL1 : User Interface

MPManager

The software that is used for the display of the trapped exchanges is MPManager.

Once the spy session is over, the “Viewer” window of MPManager shows all signals that have been spied (contact and contactless exchanges)

 
Here, exchanges in ISO 7816, SWP and ISO 14443B have been spied simultaneously

 

The viewer window of MPManager also gives a graphical display of the trapped exchanges.
For example on the following screenshot, we have a contactless command (starting a payment application). This command will be in fact executed by the U-SIM. The contactless frame thus needs to be translated into SWP

 
Here, contactless and SWP exchanges are displayed together, on the same time base

 

The time between the contact, and the SWP blocks, is the time it takes to the NFC component to do the translation job.
By positionning two cursors, we will know how long it takes to the NFC component to perform this job.

 
The blue cursor is set at the end of the contactless frame

 

The red cursor is set at the beginning of the SWP frame.

 
The red cursor is set at the beginning of the SWP frame.

 

MPManager gives us the time difference between both cursors

 
It took 2.3 ms for the NFC component to do the translation
